She said on the podcast, Dopey: "My stepmum had to be in LA waiting to get the results from taking her to the doctor so my dad came up here and then travel got crazy so she stayed in LA with my little sisters." … [Read more...] about Demi Moore looks incredible in unearthed school photo – and identical to daughter Rumer!

Meeting me at the West Hollywood Le Pain Quotidien, Wells immediately insists we change tables. Occasionally mistaken for Christopher Walken, he wears tinted blue glasses low on his nose, a Zara jacket with an upturned collar, and pointed black suede shoes acquired in Cannes. To “those who are dull and coarse enough to ask my age,” he says “I can easily get away with having been born in 1956.” Fudging it helps professionally, and “with girlfriends, you do better.” When I ask about the lowest point of his career—in 2007, a leaked email revealed that he’d asked director James Mangold for topless stills of the actress Vinessa Shaw—he calls the outrage over it a “complete denial of human nature.” But he regrets the request. He says he may not have done it today—he quit drinking in 2012—but then quickly adds, “maybe I would have.” … [Read more...] about In the Most Competitive Oscar Season Ever, Bloggers Are Keeping Score

Jane Fonda better start clearing a space on her mantle, next to her two Oscars, an Emmy, Honorary Golden Lion, AFI Life Achievement Award, National Board of Review Career Achievement Award, and seven Golden Globes.

With that in mind, it’s a little strange, then, that Spotify declined to comment on the record when The Verge reached out (and similarly declined to comment on the record in my own correspondence). Instead, they pointed Carman to a lone counter-example, the unexpectedly popular bro-cast How Long Gone, which itself seems to corroborate of the report’s major suggestions: that, in what seems to be many cases, Anchor-using podcast creators are getting most of their Anchor Sponsorships revenue from Anchor itself. (Like other sources cited in the piece, How Long Gone’s hosts also say that the majority of their ads market Spotify and Anchor products.) You would think that, by way of disputing the claim, they’d extend a counter-example that gets more of its Anchor Sponsorships revenue from actual advertisers on the platform. That, at least, would strike at the heart of the report’s other major suggestion: that it feels like there’s not actually a reliable supply of advertisers on the platform. … [Read more...] about Futuro Studios Is Having a Moment
